Paisaia European Landscape Foundation aims to preserve and restore traditional cultural landscapes in Europe, by supporting and maintaining the wealth of traditional land-use management techniques. Our work maintains the ecological functions and the integrity of these traditional landscapes and contributes to their protection and to the public recognition of their cultural value.

These cultural landscapes are part of Europe’s natural and cultural heritage, they are perfect examples of how we can sustainably use our land whilst maintaining healthy ecosystems, a high biodiversity and a carbon neutral impact. Examples include traditional olive groves in Italy, ancient woodlands and mountain pastures in Spain or cider apple orchards here in Jersey.
